When I requested this book I didn’t realize it was a book for parents with children who have cognitive disabilities. While our daughter doesn’t currently have any known disabilities, this book was incredibly insightful for anyone whose children might. As parents we fear our child being “different” but after reading this book it gives tons of advice about how to help your child thrive despite their differences and make it seem less daunting, that there’s nothing to be worried about just that the child needs a different approach. I think the positive and hopeful, yet realistic attitude would be comforting to a parent with recently diagnosed children. I would definitely recommend this book and appreciate NetGalley for ARC.

This book is a must read for parents of children with disabilities. It provides valuable information to parents about the brain and how to improve the overall functioning of their child in so many different areas. When a parent is faced with a diagnosed disability in their child, they lose hope for their child's future. This book provides hope in the form of specific actions that can be taken by the parent in order to improve their child's functioning and therefore, overall quality of life. This book explains how the brain in children with disabilities is disorganized and requires specific exercises to improve the brain organization. These exercises focus on skills such as: listening, smelling, creeping and crawling in order to put the brain in order and improve overall cognitive functioning. This book is amazing in that parents can read it and implement the strategies right in their own home.

This is a fantastic resource to give parents the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to help their special-needs child. The book is full of ideas, tips, and advice to help their child better function in daily life. Many thanks to the authors, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy.
